Tuesday 3 weeks ago I sent Dan a big envelope containing (photocopies) of documents and 2 american size passport pictures, via Priority Mail. According to the TNT site (that is the Dutch postal service) mail to the US arrives in 3-6 (work)days. According to my experience it takes 10-14 days (including weekends). I know in Illinois mail isn't delivered on Saturdays anymore because of being too expensive but 2 weeks? Come on people!
Of course I've been asking Dan almost daily for a week and yes, Tuesday he had news: a card had arrived. Ehm, ok....I sent him that card a week after the documents. So my huge white A4 (a bit bigger than the US Letter-format) envelope went missing? Did customs take it and open it and think: oh that lady just wants to immigrate here, let's lose the whole bunch?
It were just photocopies of some stupid documents needed to file for a petition for a Fiancé Visa. And you wouldn't think I'd have to send them via registered mail now do ya :( Oh well, today another big white envelope has gone to the mail office, with the same documents in it and my last 2 pics. This time it was an A5 envelope though, half the size of the other one. And yes, I forked out €16,50 (well my son did really :p ) to send it via registered mail this time. I have a track&trace number now, and I WILL track AND trace!
Of course only now I am writing this blog I am asking myself if I signed and dated the G-325A form and I don't think I did :p So just printed out a new one and sending that all alone...GRRR sometimes I hate myself :') Oh well, a little walk to the mailbox won't hurt me ;)
Well, I know the Dutch mailservice is very swift and accurate so now I just hope the American mailservice will be just as nice! So mister mailman, please take all my mail directly to the right adress please!
Oh, and if all goes right I will be contacted again soon by the hospital, they have started the dialysis project I was asked for when it was in the developmental stage. So let's hope that job will be mine :)
Have a great day all, and talk to you soon again! XOXOX
